Souness believes Ronaldo will elevate Man Utd to title contenders. Scottish legend Graeme Souness believes Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Manchester United will make them a full title contender . According to a report from the Daily Mail.

The 36-year-old striker agreed to return to Old Trafford on Friday for £21m on a two-year, highest-paid contract in the league. £480,000 per week.

Souness said Ronaldo’s influence would enhance the Red Devils and help them become a full-time champion this season.

“I think he will come in and make a difference for the team. I think there are two, three or four players who need him in the dressing room at Manchester United,” the Liverpool legend told Sky Sports.

“Only he or Lionel Messi can step into the dressing room and raise the game. Some players feel that they have just joined the team. and no one told them anything. But those players will be able to develop along with Ronaldo there.”
